While Scarlett continues to search for Ferdinand.“Ferdinand!” she yelled, shooting at those on display throughout the quarters. “You asshole! Get out! Face me!” she yelled as she blew up the build with the last of the bombs.Scarlett came to a halt when she heard a helicopter. Her eyes widened, and she peered out the window, but it surprised her when she saw Ferdinand dragging the chairman Knight.“Grandpa…” Scarlett whispered as she walked up to the window, grabbed the leash’s hook, and climbed out. “You can’t run away, Ferdinand!” she exclaimed as she ran towards her last opponent. She took a stone and threw it at Ferdinand’s head.“Are you going to run away?!? Aren’t you tired of running away over and over?!?” Scarlett yelled, grabbing her gun from her boots.“I will not let you live! I will send Verno to hell!” Ferdinand yelled, pointing his gun at Verno.Scarlett came to a halt as she noticed chairman Knight struggling to breathe. She tightened her fist, prepared her gun, and sh
12 years later...SCARLETT’s POV“Mom, we’ve arrived!”“OMG! I can’t wait to go shopping!”“Are you going shopping again?”“KJ!”Because I could hear Carrie, and Tara’s voices, I removed my sleeping mask. We left the country a long time ago and are now returning. Because Claire is pregnant with her third child and wants me to be her youngest child’s godmother. Even though she was old, she still had a child.I assumed Erin was the one she was going to marry because my cousin and Claire had an affair as well, but their relationship didn’t work out, so it was best for them to just split up. Erin is glad that Ander is now with him. Gosh, Erin and Rios are the same. Poor uncle Eros, no one will even extend his race.“Mom.”In shock, I jumped and hit Agustin. I’m also confused why he’s taller than his father. He is obviously not 18 years old.“Are you all right?”I nodded and gripped his arm. He also did not inherit his father’s mischievousness, as it appears, he inherited it from brother C
SCARLET's POV.“Hon, I'm leaving first,” I said, but he seemed too stunned. “Wait... Are you okay?” I asked.He still could not talk. I'm worried.“H-Hon.. You will not leave me no matter what, are you?” he asked, and he took my hand in his and pulled me into his lap. I frowned at him, wondering why he seemed to do something wrong.I've been noticing it for two months, but I just ignore it, maybe he's just having a problem at work.“Hon? Is there something wrong?” I asked. “We're husband and wife, so I should know what my husband's problem is,” I said. All he did was hug me.“Please promise me you will not leave me.” he said. I stood up, letting go of his embrace. What he's saying confuses me.I don't understand everything! What is going on with him?“What's wrong, Dominic?” I asked, annoyed. He continued to drink while shaking his head.“I love you, Scarlett.” he said. I sighed and moved closer to him.“Yeah, I love you so much that I will never leave you.”That's what I believed, bu
Five years later.The cool breeze. It's nice to live in the province when you don't encounter any problems. The one who is far away from everything, from pain, hatred, and sorrow, and especially from trouble.When I felt the strong wind, I closed my eyes as if I could feel Dominic's hug.“For the rest of my life, I will love you.”I opened my eyes as if I heard his voice, and the tears that had held in my five years of hiding flowed once again.Why am I still in pain? Why am I still hoping Dominic will find me and tell me what happened? And Why do I still care about him?I've been gone for five years since I left. And I haven't heard from my family in five years, but I know they've been looking for me.They have plenty of connections, and it's easy for them to find me, but because I'm a Knight, I've already gone through everything they could go through just to find me.I blocked their connections with the help of my close friend, Claire Perkins. She's my only best friend, and I put my
“Where are we going, Mommy?” asked Carrie, my daughter.I just smiled at her as we packed our belongings because I had already decided that we would return to Manila. Perhaps the five years I spent hiding from my family were enough. Maybe it's time to introduce them to my kids.As they sat on my bed, I looked at them.“In mommy's proper home,” I replied, caressing Carrie's cheek.Her eyes widened as she heard what I said, and she smiled.“Do you mean I'll see our grandparents, Mommy?” She asked. I nodded, and I messed her hair.As I saw how excited they were to see my family, I smiled. And will not hide forever because I'm still going back to where I came from.And I know they're excited because my daughter has asked me why there are only four of us here and where their grandparents are because they want to see them.“So, mommy, I can see daddy as well?” When she asked me again about their father, I was stunned and stopped putting our things away.What if they find Dominic is the fat
When I returned, they were all surprised.When mom saw me, she exclaimed, “Oh my gosh!” She covered her mouth as she looked at me with tears in her eyes.“Oh, my dear! My daughter is back!” she cried as she approached and hugged me. I let go of the children's hands and embraced mom.“Scarlett baby!” mommy screamed as she embraced me. I couldn't stop crying as I hugged her.I miss her.“Mommy,” I whispered. She just hugged me. I can sense her longing for me as well. Because she is my support when I am having a problem, and she always reminds me to be strong in life.When dad approached me. “My princess,” I noticed mom backed away and turned away from me.What happened to them, anyway? Did anything happen while I was away? Is this what I heard from Lydia?“Daddy,” I hugged him as well. Dad's hug tightened around me, and I felt his tears fall on my shoulder.I just saw daddy cry, although I know he was brave and strong. And I can sense my parents' love for me, that they miss me, but I do
SCARLETT's POVHer eyes widened because of my question. “H-huh?” she stammered. “W-what, should I be afraid of? What should they know?” asked Sophia. I frowned, as if she couldn't understand what I was saying.Did she forget, or is she unable to confess the sin she committed against me? I just shook my head because Sophia was unable to give me a reasonable answer.“I don't feel like talking to you anymore, Sophia; just tell me what you want to tell me,” I said as I took my towel. “You seem so to be unaware of the sin you have committed,” I added. Her eyes widened once again.“I don't know what you're talking about! You've been gone for five years, you don't know what it's like—” she was about to say when I interrupted her. I don't have time to hear it out.She acted like she just wanted to make me feel like she had my husband earlier at dinner. She's so pathetic.“You have nothing to fear if I return here because you are not the reason I returned,” I sighed. “I won't bother you as lon
“Brother,” I said, turning away from him.We let my children play first, so they wouldn't hear what Erin and I were talking about.“You made us worried; you vanished like a bubble, then came back as if nothing had happened?” asked Erin, but he was disappointed by what I did.I just watched my kids play. Tears streamed down my cheeks. I took a deep breath and looked at him.“Brother, it's hard to leave, but it's necessary…” I explained. I just smiled because he was surprised by what I said.It is hard to leave alone, and it is even harder to raise children alone.That's why I was grateful to Claire for always being by my side, no matter what.“Didn't you think about your parents? Didn't you think about the family you left here? And then you come back with two kids?” my cousin Erin kept asking.To stop my tears, I bowed and covered my mouth. I don't want people to wonder why I'm crying, although they recognize me as a knight.“Please, Brother? I don't want to talk about it,” I said to hi
